🚨Volume 34 of the CPAG journal on Archaeology in the Digital Age has been published. I have collaborated with @soniadiaznv.bsky.social in an article on 3D printing and accessibility of archaeological heritage revistaseug.ugr.es/index.php/cp... #AncientBlueSky #Archaeology 1/🧵

It's #RomanSiteFriday and I'm here to present the Domus of Vésone (1st-3rd centuries AD) on which the Gallo-Roman museum of Vesunna (Perigueux) is located. 1/🧵 #AYearInBordeaux #Archaeology #AncientBlueSky #ClassicBlueSky

Newly posted on Current Epigraphy, here's @palaeofuturist.bsky.social with notice of the open-access volumes so far produced by the LatinNow project (#Latinization of the north-western #RomanProvinces: #sociolinguistics, #epigraphy and #archaeology): currentepigraphy.org/2024/12/06/l...

The Sunoikisis Digital Classics #SunoikisisDC programme for January–March 2025 is now up. Individual events on @ics.bsky.social calendar at: ics.sas.ac.uk/search-event... (All free, online and asynchronous via YouTube.)

I love this trend. I bring this cute little hog from the museum of Vesunna (Perigueux)

One of the most interesting places in Perigueux is this playground. Why is that? Just look at the shape it makes. It follows the silhouette of the ancient arena of the Roman amphitheatre #Epigraphy #FindsFriday #Archaeology #AYearInBordeaux #AncientBlueSky #ClassicBlueSky

Today I am in Periguex, visiting the various Roman remains of ancient Vesunna and visiting the beautiful Gallo-Roman museum! #Epigraphy #Archaelogy #FindsFriday #AncientBlueSky #ClassicBlueSky

Absolutely *thrilled* to advertise a fully funded PhD studentship WITH stipend thanks to generous London Arts & Humanities AHRC funding! 🎉 🏺 🗃️ You’ll be based at @ics.bsky.social in partnership w/ @bsrome.bsky.social researching the surrounding funerary landscape of Falerii Novi

BLUESKY MEGA-THREAD Altmetric is thrilled and also LITERALLY RELIEVED to officially announce: We are now tracking research attention as it happens on Bluesky! We have been picking up posts on the site since late Oct. Our team is on Bluesky all day answering questions. Let's get into it!

A Roman milestone of Emperor Gordianus III is discovered in the Fatsa district of Ordu province in northeastern Turkey. The inscription was used as a seat in a mosque. 👇👇 arkeonews.net/1800-years-o... #EpigraphyTuesday #Epigraphy #ClassicsBlueSky #AncientBlueSky

@archaeologytube.bsky.social I did an illustration tutorial on my blog a few years ago, that might be useful for you!! 🏺 spadeandthegrave.com/2020/06/19/a...

Does anyone know of any published work on the subject in a scientific journal? Amazing work!

Stay tuned 🔴 The call for the next Ancient Archaeology Doctoral Workshop, organized by Casa de Velázquez and DAI Madrid, will be open soon. I was lucky enough to participate in 2019 and it was a great experience. www.casadevelazquez.org/es/novedad/x...

Check out this base of a statue from Florentia Iliberritana (Granada, Spain). Nowadays, you can find it at the Archaeological and Ethnological Museum of Granada, which (let's be honest) leaves a lot to be desired. #Epigraphy #ClassicBlueSky #AncientBlueSky 📸 me

When you visit the Ara Pacis in #Rome, tear your eyes away from the main attraction; scrutinize the foliage.You'll find creepy crawlies lurking in the dense acanthus: A serpent threatening a nest of eaglets (one escapes); a scorpion & a small snake; and a toad. 🏺 #AncientBlueSky

Great thread and a very interesting inscription! It is the central object of a dissemination project as well. If you are interested, here is the video: youtu.be/tgo4vm76kS8 #EpigraphyTuesday #AncientSky #Epigraphy

Good day to you all. On this #MosaicMonday I present for your delectation a mosaic of Jupiter kidnapping Ganymede. In a typical Roman motif, Ganymede’s ‘Easternness’ is signalled by his Phrygian cap. 🕰️C3rd AD 🏛️ Bignor Roman Villa 📷 mine 🏺 #AncientBlueSky

Just uploaded to Flickr: photos of the 1st c. BCE Roman tomb monument at ancient Capua known as la Conocchia ("the distaff") 🏺

#StandingStoneSunday! A late #neolithic statue-menhir found at Rottenburg-Lindele, dating 3250-3000 BC. It is considered one of the oldest anthropomorphic stone sculptures from southern Germany and was reused as a cover for a grave in the 8th/7th century BC. 📷 @almbawue.bsky.social 🏺 #archaeology

Did you see us in the local Gazette news this week? The Colchester Vase is on the move! This 2nd-century Roman treasure featuring gladiatorial scenes joins the British Museum’s Gladiators of Britain touring exhibition: loom.ly/_4n5SMs

This is an incorrect calculation of the area of a triangle by a young Babylonian student at school around 1900-1600 BCE, excavated from the ancient city of Kish. It’s a moment in the history of math, of education, of children, of mistakes, of people being people. I love it.

For #epigraphyTuesday, here’s the earliest known reference to London (65/70-80 CE), from one of the waxed writing tablets excavated in 2013. 🏺 To Mogontius in #London, it’s incomplete but addresses were short and he probably received it! Mogontiacum was pre-Roman Mainz (in modern Germany). 1

This no longer makes any sense

The List of Lists has been updated again - as always, let me know of any others to add! #ClassicsBluesky 🏺#AncientBluesky

My first glimpse of the latest discovery of a household shrine in #Pompeii with the familiar motif of snakes—that offered the ancient inhabitants protection—writhing through the undergrowth towards an altar furnished with dates, an egg, a fig, and a pine cone The House of Phaedra. #FrescoFriday

In a few moments we will present in Pau our archaeological project on the Late Antique monumental complex of Las Calaveras in Renedo de Esgueva (Valladolid). @soniadiaznv.bsky.social #AncientSky

My colleague @soniadiaznv.bsky.social recently published in @theconversationes.bsky.social. It is now the turn of estimating biological sex in prehistoric skeletons from discriminant functions and machine learning approaches. 👇👇 theconversation.com/el-sexo-de-l...

The B tram in #Bordeaux was not running today, so I had to make a short detour to get to work at the #InstitutAusonius. I took the opportunity to see a bit of Pessac. Every cloud has a silver lining. #AYearInBordeaux #Bordeaux #Epigraphy

Beautiful inscription of a 'praetor' of Burdigala. It mentions the 'praetor' of the city, who donated hydraulic structures to the city as an act of evergetism. The Gallo-Roman 'praetor' is a very interesting one, so I will talk about it soon. #AYearInBordeaux #EpigraphyTuesday #Muséed’Aquitaine

Al comienzo, el latín está a medio camino entre la desesperación y el entretenimiento. Poco después se acaba convirtiendo sólo en lo segundo. Muy recomendable 👇

Panel con pintaza 👇👇

Comenzamos por aquí! Os presento mi centro de trabajo actual, el Institut Ausonius de la @ubmontaigne.bsky.social. Llegué en octubre y estaré investigando el evergetismo galo-romano hasta septiembre de 2025. #AYearInBordeaux #Bordeaux #Epigraphy #Archaeology

rather the Venetic alphabet, borrowed from & closely related to the north Etruscan alphabet, but with punctuation and additional signs to represent sounds present in Venetic (an Indo-European language) but not in Etruscan. This is a (4th-2nd c. BCE) votive model of a school exercise tablet... (1/5)🏺
